The Spartacus boxed set we released in 2010 was a great success and is one of our best-reviewed soundtrack releases ever! After all, it is Spartacus! The boxed set remains available but we are now very happy to offer this alternative.

Filmed in Technirama, this epic story chronicles one of history’s greatest underdogs — Spartacus! He and other slaves are sold to an owner of a school for gladiators. Spartacus excels and is rewarded with a slave women, Varinia, for his pleasure in which he demurs. However they eventually fall for each other before a death match for a corrupt Roman senator, Marcus Crassus. After the brutal spectacle, Spartacus is enraged by the death of his friends and the loss of his love. He leads a revolt and bolts. Marching across the countryside to escape over the sea to their homelands, he is elated to find Varinia. Their quest becomes entwined with the political aspirations of Crassus and sets the fate of all three. Spartacus' saga survives the test of time and has been immortalized by this landmark film.

The film starred Kirk Douglas, Laurence Olivier, Jean Simmons, Tony Curtis, Peter Ustinov and Charles Laughton. Spartacus was directed by Stanley Kubrick and has recently been released as a stunning Restored Edition Blu-ray.
